Measuring the Mountain: What really matters in social care to individuals in Wales?

Measuring the Mountain is an initiative funded by Welsh Government.

Report of a Citizens’ Jury

The Citizens’ Jury took place between 24th and 27th September 2018. The report was drafted by Katie Cooke, Measuring the Mountain Project Manager and Rachel Iredale, Reader in Public Engagement at the University of South Wales, on behalf of the Jury and has been approved by all the Jurors. This report was finalised in January 2019 and published by the University of South Wales.

This is a report of a Citizens’ Jury which took place with 14 citizens of Wales in September 2018. Over four days the Jurors explored the question “What really matters in social care to individuals in Wales?” They listened to evidence, asked questions and compiled a series of recommendations. The recommendations highlight important aspects of social care. They are the beginning of a process for Welsh Government, and other organisations working in the sector, to ensure positive experiences for people accessing care and support.
